Woven Strands Blog Hop

Welcome to the final stop on Club Scrap's August 2015 blog hop! If hopping along, you got here from Anne Marie's blog. To start at the beginning and see the list of all the blogs in this month's hop, check out the Club Scrap blog.

This month we are featuring the Woven Strands collection. You can check it out here.

I've been away from blogging for a few months (and papercrafting, too, for that matter), but I have rediscovered my mojo and hope that it sticks around for a while. I find I'm much happier when I'm productively creating, don't you? The next few months are going to be quite busy for me. We have our daughter's wedding in October (and all the busyness that surrounds such events) plus my wonderful husband and I will celebrate 30 years of marriage in November. We just might be taking a trip abroad! I'm determined to send out Christmas cards this year, so I'm trying to get a head start before things kind of get crazy. I decided to use Woven Strands to try out an idea to make some simple layered cards with a bit of texture.

The papers are from Woven Strands, and the Merry Christmas stamp is from the Silent Night collection (2010). Here are the elements I used to create this card and two others (see final pic to see all three cards).

Cuttlebug embossing folder called Christmas Wreath

Impression Obsession die (could also use a circle die and hand-cut an ornament top)

Well, that does it, hoppers! To revisit any of the blogs, go to the Club Scrap blog for the master list, and join us next month when we feature the September collection, Transformations. Until next time!Lisa Kay

I would have never thought of using this kit for Christmas cards Lisa but your interpretation is amazing and so perfect for the holidays!! Great work on these cards. That little die cut ornament is adorable.

Welcome to My Blog

Welcome! I hope you find some projects here that interest you and encourage you to papercraft. You'll find cards, scrapbook pages, and projects--some of my own creation and others from instructions I've been given or found on the internet.

My main source of supplies is Club Scrap, but I also use tools and materials from other companies. See my list of favorites below.

About Me

I am a wife, mom, homemaker, small business owner, and college student, as well as an Army brat and veteran Navy wife, who loves to scrapbook and make cards in my limited spare time. My favorite materials are from Club Scrap--I've been a member since June 2002. The quality and creativity can't be beat!
I am blessed to have a very large crafting room where I create, and I enjoy sharing those creations with others.
My favorite scrapbooking subjects are my family (husband, daughters, nieces and nephews), pets (horses, dogs), and our travel experiences.
